The Hough Christmas Party

We had a great Christmas party. Dinner was great. We had a good gift exchange. Robyn I am sorry that Brian took your robe and you ended up with a Texas Tech Gnome. I owe you a robe don't I? We apparently thought that the living room floor was a dance floor. When I crawled to bed the clock said 6am. I seriously picked it up and checked another clock b/c I was sure this one was off. Nope. It was so good to see Skyler again and of course all of my friends. Sunday was rough...All I could mutter to Brian while laying in bed was "Burrito!". He finally gave in and got me up at 2:30 with two Sonic burritos with extra japs. Then it was his turn to crash. I woke him up for dinner at 7:30. LOL. Back to the real world today. I am off from work Until Jan 5th and I am sooo looking forward to chillin at home. I probably won't write before 2009 so Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Clarification

I am sorry to scare you Amber!! Diana is a pink toe tarantula. I am not crazy enough to have a snake yet. You have to feed them mice and I could not bring myself to do that. A few crickets...not so bad.
Although I am sure the picture of me holding snakes might be confusing.

I am such a proud parent!

Just wanted everyone to know that Princess Diana aka "D" has completed her second molt successfully! She is sooo big and pretty. She shines pink and blue in the light.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Brian and I had a very laid back long weekend. I did get a Cajun fried turkey and cooked all his favorite side dishes. It was enough for 8 people but Bird managed to make a pretty good dent in it. We spent the rest of the day watching movies, drinking wine, and watching football. Jon joined us in the evening for while. We managed to run some much needed errands....I was out of eyelashes:) on Friday. Jon and Melinda joined us at Studio Movie Grill to watch Twilight. It was pretty good but the vampires had no fangs!

Saturday we took on something we had never done before....a garage sale! I told Brian that the customers would come early but he didn't understand until I saw two trucks parked in front of our house at 7am! We only had big items such as furniture, an elliptical, surround sound and tvs. We sold out completely by 10am! Let me tell you it was freezing cold in our garage. We pulled out a roll of leftover carpet and the dog beds and the dogs sat with us. I took a picture that I will try and post!

I have all my Christmas shopping done and shipped. I am so glad! Well I guess except for Brian but that is a breeze. Dr. Smart's x-mas party is Friday, Steven's birthday is the 13th and then we have ours on the 20th. I can't wait! For those of you who don't know the 5th Annual Hough Christmas party is always a blast. We eat at Terelli's and then go back to our house for desert, drinks and a gift exchange. It is good to bring everyone together one last time before the new year!

Bye for now!
